Happy / solemn memorial day to you! Here's a fresh new podcast and events list. We especially recommend the Vanport Mosaic Festival, which (mostly) runs through Monday. That said, this week is full of really interesting opportunities.

Many thanks for your financial support of KBOO. If you aren't a member, you can become one, easily. Just go to kboo.fm/give. And if you'd like to advertise, we can arrange that, too. Just call 503-231-8032 during regular business hours.

Also, and this is important: KBOO has been nominated as best Portland Sports Radio. Yeah, I know, right? Vote us in, please.

Thanks, Joe Frazier, as usual, for the photo; Ismoon, as usual, for their research; and you!
